Rita Barberá who art in heaven, hallowed be your name. Last weekend, the mayor of Valencia paid another tribute to the woman who directed the city’s destinies for 24 years. “Eight years ago today, Rita Barberá left us. I want to remember her with a phrase of hers that has always inspired me: ‘Valencia is my passion and being mayor is my love,’” wrote María José Català. It is possible that Català also remembers her for other reasons, because she executed her in a vote in which she was required to resign from her seat in the Senate.
Corruption is a weapon that kills by accumulation. For years, the PP had disdained accusations of all the most varied forms of crime that existed in that community. To understand it, things were so crazy that there was a time when being the PP Urban Planning Councilor in the Valencian Community meant a presumption of guilt. The judicial summaries were falling in a wave. Although not all of them ended in a conviction, the most serious ended up convincing Rajoy’s PP that it had to get rid of the dead weight that Barberá represented. Català and the rest of the PP parliamentary group voted in favor of requesting his resignation in the Senate, where he had taken refuge to obtain capacity. The party abandoned her and she took it very badly.
